That Was
(Click on the song length to return to the top of the page.)
Believe Me Never (3:03)
Walk around some time and see
If you can think up something
That you’ve never thought before
Judging by the looks of things
It’s getting late and you’ve gone by
That neighborhood before
Prove it to yourself
If you’ve got something to offer
See if you can welcome yourself home anymore
If you ever have then it’s not worth mentioning
Believe me never, hate me forever
Believe me never, hate me the rest of your life
Gone To the Moon (1:51)
Some day, when one guy in the world
Finally owns everything and when
I’m sure that he’s not thinking of me
When he says, “Hi there,
I really am your friend
Sorry, I’m doing all I can
For you and I really mean that!”
Nobody ever asked me what I wanted from them and then
Listened to me say, they only ask me again
That’s about the time I’ll be going to the moon
And then that’s where I’ll stay, far away, from here
Someday, when I can’t take this place
I’ll take a trip out into space
I think I mean it!
Hung On a Bad Peg (1:47)
I’ve laughed at successful things all my life
Not that my sights are ever on what’s in plain sight
It’s just that part of this insanity may be all right
Now I’ve missed the mark on the wall
For the longest time
I’m qualified to know
What it’s been like hung on a bad peg all my life
I won’t tell you much of what you want to know
That’s just the way it goes
(There will always be just a little part of me so easy to despise)
Under the Old Lightbulb (1:35)
“Under the old lightbulb yesterday
That’s where I saw the future and a better way.”
No way!
There’s nothing that can grow under that lightbulb
Dim and grey, just no way
“I saw tomorrow everything was fine
It wasn’t like it was the last few times
I saw tomorrow and it wasn’t bad at all!”
If you’re so glad that everything is fine
See if you can turn it on a second time
I’m surprised the light up there will still come on at all
Never Heard of Him (1:47)
I heard you talking to your friends about it all
The other night as I tried to sleep
I couldn’t sleep at all
It sounds to me that you speak highly of yourself
And how everything wrong in your life
Is somebody’s fault but not your own
“Whatever happened, someone else will pay
. . .I want my money now!”
I thought I heard you on the phone upstairs today
Screaming along, stomping around
A piece of your mind through the window pane
I went out and saw the world
It revolves around and around
I went out and saw the world
It revolves around you!
Whatever makes you want to live your life this way?
There’s someone there holding you back
Running your day after every day
When I’m Old (3:37)
It means more to me than to you, I know
What I meant by that, I can’t say anymore
Sometimes when I feel like there’s no-one control
Tomorrow never know
No-one answer the door
If I know one thing, I don’t know everything
I wondered what happened when you came in
And there’s one thing more
I know it’s not too fair
These things that I’m thinking I just can’t share at all
The dogs go to sleep, but the cats are awake
The full moon bakes through my curtain
The light in my room won’t be fading soon
It’s a lonely old moon in the sky
When I’m all alone and I think of being old
I can see myself alone . . .
I don’t want to be alone when I’m old
All About Nothing (2:28)
This is where we stand so far and near
So near and yet so far from here
All about nothing I fear
This is where the answer should becoming clear
All about nothing I fear
Bill Challenger (1:18)
(Instrumental)
Parts (1:46)
When I put things back in place
There were two parts I had left
I won’t let things go to waste
What do you think I’ll do next?
One piece missing, never found
Never more than always less
Fueled by anger underground
Temper cooled by happiness
Kind of Game (2:36)
The time that flies for you, for me, forever
Every day surrounded by more days on end
This is the kind of game that lives forever
Calendar, leave out all that you can!
The kind of thing I’d lost at when
I’d have it all to do again
The kind of game that’s never fun
Looking at what I’ve become
Look me right in the eye
And say that I’m the kind you just can’t argue with
(A fact far less than obvious)
The kind of game that’s never fun
Looking at what I’ve become
Look me right in the eye
When I make coffee in the morning
I take some, just a little bit
Out of it’s cup and put it in the clock by my bed
They Don’t Care (2:32)
They don’t really care for you
They don’t want to know what you’re going through
They will never do anything for you
They don’t move an inch they don’t have to
I’ll try anything I can do
I will walk as far as I have to
Walk around the world if I have to prove
This world isn’t here for me and you
I’ll do anything I can
Storm across their patriotic land
Scraping flag decals off of custom vans
Yellow ribbon ‘round the garbage can
You’ll find anything you want
If you look for it long enough
Everything you need you’ll have
But you will look long
Please Read Me (2:07)
Originally written and performed by the Bee Gees (Bee Gees First)
Many years ago I was a simple man
A simple man
No worries me
I never laugh
Please read me
Not much conversation ever came from me
I never saw reality
I never tried
Please read me
Maybe I’ve been lying on your couch too long
I’ll stay if you will see me through
Explain why
Please read me
Save Room For Me (3:13)
I think of what I could be doing
And let my future go to ruin
I know . . .
Sometimes when I see you cry I don’t know
Anything that I can try to help you out of the hole
Asking all the questions that you know the answers to
All the time we’re sitting here you question if they’re true
When there’s nothing left for you to do to keep from feeling sick inside
And there’s nowhere left for you to go that makes you want to stay alive
In your dreams you’ll be where you’re never alone
(If you want to be where you’re never alone)
I’m aspiring - if you get there alone
Save room for me
Beat your head against the wall in your room all the time
Body wrecked, your legs are sore
It’s been a long hard downhill climb
They’ve tried to pull your lease on life
What more can they do?
Dreams about the only thing they can’t take away from you
That Was (3:09)
That was me
Leaving
Just leave me alone
That was somewhere
Nowhere
I’ll find my way home
I think I’ll think next time
You don’t ever know what I think
When I walk away smiling
I might be lying
That was really
Really
